Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine

The Pinnacle of Medical Discovery

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded annually to individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to the field of medicine or human physiology. The prize was established by the will of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, and has been awarded since 1901. Winners are selected by the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. Past winners have been honored for discoveries ranging from the development of vaccines and treatments for diseases, to understanding the workings of the human body at a cellular or molecular level. The prize aims to recognize advancements that have the potential to significantly impact healthcare and improve the quality of life for people around the world.
